In 2010 the university was operating as a non-governmental organization aimed at helping students from less privileged communities obtain scholarships in developed countries and also provide a network for students to gain access to training facilities with highly developed technologies and equipment since these opportunities were not present in their communities. The organization’s primary name was the FAMILY OF EXTRAORDINARY STUDENTS. The organization equally provided remote training to students from varying backgrounds and helped them get certified. In 2014, the organization was rebranded as KESMONDS GROUP LIMITED a global conglomerate of companies in which KESMONDS INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY was the primary service and has other services like hospitality, digital and print media, journals, healthcare, import and exports.
